The launch of the E-Learning module aims to combat this statistic and promote positive action against discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity throughout football. The creation of the E-Learning module was one of the key actions in the Scottish FA’s Football v Homophobia strategy which was launched last year in conjunction with LEAP Sports and Football v Homophobia Scotland. It aims to ensure Scottish football inclusive of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) people, concentrating partic- ularly on policy and procedure, education as well communication across all levels of the game. The commitment to support LGBTI participation within Scottish Football is part of Scottish FA’s Football Unites equality framework which aims to ensure Scottish football is reflective and representative of the demographic of Scotland whilst working to remove barriers to participate within the game in this country. This E-Learning module, which can be accessed on the Scottish FA Live system to anyone with a log-in, is the latest education programme to be launched following on from existing modules special- ising in mental health and equality. The Football Unites; Football v Homophobia Scotland E-Learning module is the third Equality E-Learning provision within the Scottish FA coach education pathway follow- ing the launch of the Mental Health Awareness and Equality in Scottish Football which has both proved very successful and we look forward to creating further E-Learning opportunities throughout 2021.” Sirri Topping; Football v Homophobia Scotland Lead: “The last year has been difficult to meet our football stakeholders face to face but it has allowed us to create online resources and continue to lay the foundations for meaningful change. The prevalence of homophobic “banter” in the dressing rooms of youth football was highlighted as one reason why victims of abuse kept quiet rather than report the inci- dents.

  • An Investigation Into How Social Capital Influences Board Effectiveness Within the Context of Scottish Football
    An Investigation into how Social Capital Influences Board Effectiveness within the Context of Scottish Football Josh McLeod Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Heriot-Watt University School of Social Sciences July 2017 The copyright in this thesis is owned by the author. Any quotation from this thesis or use of any of the information contained in it must acknowledge this thesis as the source of the quotation or information. i Abstract This study examines how social capital influences board effectiveness within the context of Scottish football. While traditional corporate governance research has focused on board structures, recent work considers this approach too simplistic. Contemporary research now points towards board processes – meaning the nature and quality of directors’ social interactions – as the primary antecedent of board effectiveness. However, the process of how different kinds of board processes influence board effectiveness remains unclear. The present study addresses this gap in the literature by applying social capital theory to Scottish football club boards. Specifically, this study adopts Nahapiet and Ghoshal’s (1998) three-dimensional conceptualisation of social capital, which is viewed as an ideal lens for research focused on organisational dynamics. Further, and in contrast to other definitions, this lens is appropriate because it proposes social capital to have internal and external facets. Consequently, this mirrors the internal and external functions of boards. Scottish football is regarded as a pertinent context in which to extend governance research. Governance failings and insolvency have been common among Scottish football clubs, and therefore exploring board effectiveness in this setting could provide valuable insights for theory and practice.
